As Loona slept in the bed, a memory resurfaces in her mind.

13 years ago

Loona was lying on the wooden bench as the bunk beds have been taken, with three young Hellhounds on each bed. She was semi-conscious when she heard the gate unlock and open.

Walking in was the white and dusty silver Hellhound Caretaker.

He went near Loona, just staring at Loona. Then she hears him unzip something and it drops to the ground. He lift the worn-out blanket that Loona was using and lay next to Loona.

At that point, Loona was awake but the Caretaker cover her mouth to prevent her from making a sound. He leans forward to her right ear and whispered:

"Don't ... make a sound. If you had stuck with the succubi couple, then this would not have happened. So don't blame me, for a man can't control himself when it comes to urges; blame YOURSELF for this. If you think that you can go and expose me, think again, you ungrateful slutty little shit. Hellhounds are the lowest of the low, one step lower than Imps. No one will believe you. Everyone will laugh at you for that. Everyone ... only wants you ... for your body."

RING! RING! RING!

Loona woke up from her sleep, feeling sweaty and panting. She looks at the traditional analogue clock, which she has difficulty in reading. After trying for a little while, Loona just gave up and lay her head back on the pillow. Moments later, the door opened and Tobias' voice was heard.

"M-morning, Loo-Loona," Tobias awkwardly announced to Loona. "It's time to get up."

Loona turn to Tobias and muttered to him: "What's the time?"

"5:30 AM." Tobias plainly stated.

At that, Loona's head shot up and she stared Tobias into his eyes. "5:30?!?!"

"Uh, c-c-correct." Tobias clears his throat.

"Why that time?!?!" Loona demanded.

"Well, uh ..." Tobias went quiet, trying to piece together an explanation. Then Tobias finally answered: "Because my sisters and brother have to attend schools in Page: Rebecca to Page High School, Onan to Page Middle School, and Beatrice to Lake View Elementary School. And we do work early every day and on some days, me and pa travel to Flagstaff to sell our products. So that's why we get up this early."

Loona responded to Tobias: "But Page is like an hour away. So why get up this early for that reason?"

"An hour and a half, to be exact." Tobias quietly answered. "Class for Rebecca starts at 8 AM, Onan starts at 8:30 AM, and Beatrice starts at 9:00 AM. Also, almost forgot to mention that ma works as a nurse at Page Hospital. After all, like ma and pa always say to us, 'Breakfast is the most important part of the day.'"

Loona then just muttered to Tobias: "Whatever. I will be down in 5 minutes. Looks like I have to learn how to read this clock."

"If you w-want, I can ... I can teach you." Tobias kindly yet awkwardly offered to Loona.

"No. I don't need your help." Loona coldly muttered to Tobias. At that, Tobias just nodded his head and left.

6 minutes later

Loona, wearing the same clothing that Angela gave to her yesterday, enter the kitchen and the Garica were all at the table, eating their breakfast. Liam and Angela were eating two French toast with their coffees in mugs, Rebecca was eating Corn Flakes in the bowl, Onan and Beatrice were having mini pancakes, and Tobias was eating jam-spread toast with tea.

"Morning, Loony Honey." Angela maternally greeted Loona. "How was your sleep? I hope that the bedroom isn't too uncomfortable for you."

Loona just muttered to Angela: "It was fine."

Liam then commented to Loona: "Hmmm, looks like someone is not an early morning person?"

"I usually wake up later than 5 in the morning." Loona flatly stated.

Loona took her seat between Angela at the opposite end of the table and Tobias next to her. Loona waited for something.

"I'm waiting." Loona impatiently stated to them.

"Waiting for what, Loona?" Liam asked.

"Waiting for you to make me breakfast." Loona bluntly replied.

Angela, although a bit shocked and annoyed by Loona's attitude, silently took deep breaths and calmly replied: "Loony Honey, at breakfast we make our own meals. One or two of us may make lunch and dinner for everyone else but not at breakfast. So you have to make your own breakfast."

Angela got up and went over to the sink. She began to clean her own dishes. Loona went behind her, standing there with an annoyed expression.

"So I have to make my own breakfast!? Are you fucking serious—"

Before she could finish her sentence, Angela turn around and shove a bar of soap into her mouth. Loona began to cough bubbles out of her mouth.

"Wha — *cough* — what was that — *cough* — for?" Loona questioned.

"Well, you were being a potty mouth and lazy to do your breakfast. So I decided to just give a breakfast: a bar of soap in your mouth. I did warn you not to swear yesterday, did I?" the whole time, Angela, despite being mad, has nonetheless maintained her calm and maternal vocal tone with Loona.

"It looks like Helena was right about your ... ethics." Angela plainly and calmly stated.

"Then why don't you send me away?" Loona snapped at Angela.

Maintaining her calm and maternal tone, Angela answered: "Because you are here to spy and, if necessary, assassinate the stalker. As Helena have mentioned, as part of the deal, we are to have you, while not doing the work, work on the farm, and this also includes doing your own breakfast. So, I don't care if you continue to not listen and/or be lazy, I will not send you away and, as long as you are under our roof, you are to follow the rules. When the job is done, then you can go and do whatever you want. Until then, do what you have been told."

Loona replied to Angela: "I'm going out. Need a smoke."

Angela's ears went up and Angela inquired: "Did you say smoke?"

"Yep. What about it?" Loona flatly asked.

At that, Angela replied: "Smoking is not allowed here. Same with alcohol and sex outside of marriage."

Loona's eyes widened and she said: "What?"

"Yep, we don't allow that here. We may be demons but we still have standards to be demonstrated to humans. Smoking, alcohol, and sex outside of marriage leads to broken homes and families. This is a conservative area and they will rip you apart for this. Not literally, though." Angela explained in a maternal tone.

Then Liam got up and went near them. He said to Angela: "Honey, how about we leave to do what we need to do today? That way, we clear our heads and put this whole thing behind."

"That's a good idea, sweetie," Angela cheerfully replied as she kiss Liam. "I will take the children to schools and go to work."

"And I will have Loona and Tobias with me to see Bill in Colorado City." Liam started.

Turning to Loona and Tobias, Liam told them: "Get into the pick up truck. We will leave in 10 minutes."
